Geezer Bandit's robberies

LA JOLLA  A bank robbery at a Wells Fargo inside a Vons grocery store in La Jolla is believed to be part of the “Geezer Bandit” series, and a $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest, the FBI said Wednesday.

The FBI had said following the Sept. 30 heist that it was investigating whether the robbery was believed to be part of the Geezer series, but Wednesday was the first time the agency confirmed it was linked. The announcement followed a lengthy investigation by the FBI and San Diego police.
